The Corliss Group Latest Tech Review: Anvendelse af Windows XP gør europæiske pengeautomater sårbare for malware-angreb The Corliss Group Latest Tech Review - For første gang har et land i Vesteuropa rapporterede, at malware-angreb blev brugt af hackere til at stjæle € 1.230.000 (US $ 1320000) fra pengeautomater. Et stort problem er den fortsatte brug af Windows XP i pengeautomater, hvilket gør dem mere sårbare over for angreb, en rapport om ATM bedrageri sagt. Rapporten angiver ikke, hvilket land rapporterede malware angreb, siger Lachlan Gunn, administrerende direktør den europæiske ATM Security Team (EAST), en organisation, der har til formål at give et overblik over udviklingen i ATM bedrageri. Men det er første gang disse angreb blev rapporteret i Vesteuropa. Malware angreb på pengeautomater er blevet anvendt i nogen tid i andre dele af verden, herunder Østeuropa, Asien og Stillehavsområdet og Latinamerika, siger Gunn. Statistikkerne i Østs rapport forelå fra 21 europæiske lande, herunder Frankrig, Tyskland, Italien, England, Spanien, Rumænien og Holland. Landet målrettet med malware-angreb rapporteret 51 hændelser, der involverer malware i 2014. I de tilfælde, kriminelle, der anvendes såkaldt cash out eller jackpotting angreb, hvor malware bruges til at tage kontrol over ATM cash dispensere funktion, gør det muligt for kriminelle at tegne kontanter. Gunn forventer flere vesteuropæiske lande vil rapportere malware-angreb i 2015. "Som et betydeligt antal af Europas pengeautomater fortsætte med at bruge Windows XP-operativsystemet, er der bekymring for, at mange fortsat er udsat for ATM malware hvis der ikke træffes de nødvendige forebyggende foranstaltninger," EAST sagde i rapporten.

Corliss Steam Engine Boiler Group Gear Rooms History of the steam engine Source The history of the steam engine stretches back as far as the 1st century AD; the first recorded rudimentary steam engine being the aeolipile described by Hero of Alexandria. Over a millennium after Hero's (or "Heron's") experiments, a number of steam-powered devices were experimented with or proposed, but it was not until 1712 that a commercially successful steam engine was finally developed, Thomas Newcomen's atmospheric engine. During the industrial revolution, steam engines became the dominant source of power and remained so into the early decades of the 20th century, when advances in the design of the electric motor and the internal combustion engine resulted in the rapid replacement of the steam engine by these technologies. However, the steam turbine, an alternative form of steam engine, has become the most common method by which electrical power generators are driven. Investigations are being made into the practicalities of reviving the reciprocating steam engine as the basis for a new wave of 'advanced steam technology' .
